Hula Hoopla! Adult classes
We’ll move, dance, play, stretch and go through a core body strength circuit, hula hoop style. It’s graceful, feminine, and quite possibly the most fun you’ve had working your core. If you're curious or passionate about hooping, join the fun in this inclusive, fundamental class! This class is supplied with custom professional hula hoops.
Hula Hoopdance Adult classes
This special offering is for hoopers who are looking to get more out of their Hula Hooping practice. We will work on hoop stretches, hoop drills and trick concepts. We will piece together simple moves into flowing choreographies. We will explore movement with mini hoops and multiple hoops and explore our hoopdance space space from the ground up! Some hoops will be provided but bring your favourite hoops and your smiles.
The name of the game is fun as we discover the many ways to be active using hula hoops. We'll learn fun and tricky hoop moves, play games, and dance. We'll activate our bodies and minds together and get busy, Hula Hoopla style!
A typical class will include these elements: peaceful stretches and breathwork, fun and games, dance and trick concepts. Each session is tailored to suit age groups and all levels of hoopers.
